Lineker's Left Foot Posted 31 July 2007 Share Posted 31 July 2007 I'm really discovering REM, having just finished purchasing all of their albums, and what a phenomenal band. However, I bought Document about 12 years ago and used to hate it, having not listened to it for about 8 years. However, listening to it yesterday made me think "Wow, what an amazing and different album and not their most easily listenable, but quite experimental, especially with the lyrics" What other albums do people think like this??

Finnegan Posted 31 July 2007 Share Posted 31 July 2007 I've had a few of them like that. After seeing Black Rebel live for the first time in '02, I owned their album for months and months, maybe even a year or two before I really realised exactly HOW much I loved them. RATM - Evil Empire was another one. Don't get me wrong, I'd always loved Rage, but despite the fact Evil Empire was the first album of theirs I owned - I used to listen to the self titled pretty much on repeat for eons when I was about fifteen. Only in the last couple of years did I clock that Evil Empire was by far their best work and probably one of the best rock albums ever made.

Joe. Posted 31 July 2007 Share Posted 31 July 2007 Kings of Leon- Because of the Times. On a first listen I was very unimpressed but after I decided to give it another chance I found it wasn't bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REM took a long time to grow on me too. 80's REM > 90's REM imo. 13 by Blur was one of the first albums I ever bought and I only really appreciate it now.

Blue Bob Posted 31 July 2007 Share Posted 31 July 2007 I think as you get older you start to appreciate other bands. Used to hate Pink Floyd, REM, RHCP and similar bands. Now I love there stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez of Mahrez Posted 31 July 2007 Share Posted 31 July 2007 This thread sounds like some kind of debilitating disease. Unless that album was With Love And Squalor by The We Are Scientists, in which case your quality of life would be immeasurably improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daggers Posted 31 July 2007 Share Posted 31 July 2007 I hated the Smiths until they broke up. Now I just rarely listen to them - does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynny Posted 31 July 2007 Share Posted 31 July 2007 "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" has grown on me without me noticing. It's a bit weird. After about three listens I thought it was a pretty decent accoustic-based album with slightly folky influences that was a bit samey in parts. Suddenly I realised (today, as it happens) that its become my favourite album of all time over the last 3 months. It's absolutely superb in so many ways. A bit wet, mind. I could write about it for ages and ages but I'd start to sound even more wanky than I already have if I went on about lyrical themes and the like. Pitchfork are good at being wanky though.

That has to be one of the albums that has grew on me most, especially sicne seeing them live. Also the automatics album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey O'Neil Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 When I was at school in the late 80's, loads of kids were into U2 and Simple Minds. I tried not to like the Joshua Tree because everyone else liked it, but I couldn't resist. However, I really wasn't keen on U2's early stuff like October, Boy & War. Now I love Boy (& the others!) & it's on in my car quite a bit these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Simple Minds, they're a better band than the Stadium Rock stuff of Alive and Kicking. Try the following albums, which were innovative for their time, good post-punk stuff:- Sons and Fascination/Sisters Feelings Call Empires and Dance Reel to Reel Cacophony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
